Approach: MCS Control Systems paint plant was divided into two separate control systems one the main line and one for the spray booths. Each control panel contained a S7-300 PLC and was interlocked with a site SCADA via an Ethernet network. The main control panels were installed on platforms above the dry off ovens and the cure ovens and all the site SWA cabling was installed on two main cable tray runs along each line. Results: Working closely with our client the installation and commissioning was completed over a two month period and with the approval of the end client. |
